Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Da Capo 2015

The 2015 Domaine du Pégau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Da Capo is a monumental, incredibly rare, and profoundly concentrated French red wine produced only in exceptional vintage years from the estate's century-old vines. It pours a dense, deep purple-garnet color in the glass, unleashing a blockbusting bouquet of blackcurrants, ripe red plum, and black cherry, meticulously layered with pungent accents of tapenade, smoked meats, leather, and wild garrigue herbs. On the palate, this full-bodied masterpiece is immensely powerful yet perfectly composed, delivering a stacked, velvety texture packed with succulent dark stone fruit and licorice flavors. Driven by an underlying spine of freshness and a massive, seamlessly integrated framework of firm, silky tannins, it glides into an expansive, legendary finish that echoes with warm baking spices and earthy complexity.

Food Pairing: Perfectly pairs with bold, rich dishes such as slow-roasted leg of lamb with rosemary, braised wild boar, venison stews, thick pepper-rubbed ribeye steaks, or an artisan cheese board featuring highly mature blue cheeses.
